My gripes with "MyTV"

[doubleyoubeezee]

Boston, as you may know, is #7 on Neilsen's rankings of TV markets. WZMY is supposed to be our MyNetworkTV affiliate. I say supposed to, because this station really doesn't act like a major market network affiliate.

Examples:
- It only broadcasts in 480i; MNTV's primetime is 95% HD, that was Rupert Murdoch's plan originally.
- The OTA signal doesn't reach past Boston, so those on the south shore must suffice with WNAC (if they can get it) and their out of pattern programming.
- The poorly done MNTV logo knockoff.
- The poorly done website. The least they could do is toss the repeating background


I hope something happens there soon.

Your thoughts?

I completely agree with you on WZMY. I don't know why they even got the MyTV affiliation in the first place. MyNetworkTV in general has become nothing but a total joke. And now they are at a point where they have to show 2nd run programming and movies, with the exception of WWE. And for that reason alone, its crappy that WZMY isn't in HD. I live 20 minutes outside of Boston. I can't get MyTV on my analog/digital tv without a cable box.

MyNetworkTV made a mistake in the first place of calling WZMY the Boston affiliate as their main market is in New Hampshire.

I read online earlier last week that My Network TV is going to become a "hybrid" neytwork only airing repeat programming such as Law and Order. The only new programming that will air will WWE Friday Night Smackdown.
